European Engineering for Sustainability

New Solutions for Environmental, Urban and Health Systems

Budapest University of Technology and Economics

Budapest, 23 September 2024

Registration deadline for the annual conference is 15 September

NO REGISTRATION FEE TO ATTEND THE 2024 EURO-CASE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The 2024 Euro-CASE annual conference will be webcasted

« European Engineering Sustainability » underscores the crucial role that engineers play in shaping a better world. In an era defined by environmental and social challenges, it is the engineering community that leads the charge in finding applicable solutions.
The conference will address three paramount topics that are central to our global mission. First and foremost, we delve into the pressing issue of environmental challenges. Waste recycling, water management, and industrial and nuclear decontamination will be at the forefront of discussions. Groundbreaking strategies and innovations that promise a cleaner, and more sustainable future will be discussed.
Furthermore, the intricate dynamics of urban environments will be explored. The monitoring and control of urban transport and utility systems are critical to the efficient functioning of cities. Through real-world examples and practical case studies, good practices of those cities that have successfully implemented strategies to enhance urban systems efficiency and sustainability will be discussed.
Equally significant is the discussion on the technical needs and solutions in health promotion and ageing. Engineers are at the forefront of developing technologies that improve healthcare outcomes and facilitate healthy aging processes. This topic is not only relevant but also critical in an era where health and well-being are at the forefront of global concerns.
The Euro-CASE 2024 conference will be a platform for rich dialogues, knowledge exchange, and networking. Experienced speakers, including distinguished Fellows of Academies and leading experts in the field, will share their insights and experiences. Valuable perspectives on how engineering can lead towards a more sustainable and resilient future will be discussed.
Budapest, a city rich in history and innovation, offers an excellent opportunity to embark on a journey of discovery and collaboration. It is hoped that during the conference engineering solutions that Europe offers that not only address the challenges of today but also lay the foundation for a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.

9.45 – 11.25

FIRST SESSION:
Current environmental sustainability challenges (water resources management, waste recycling, industrial and nuclear decontamination)

Tackling increasingly complex environmental challenges requires swift attention by the engineering community. Innovations in waste recycling, particularly managing plastic waste, are imperative. Engineers play a pivotal role in designing advanced water management facilities to combat the ever-increasing hydrological extremes as well as pollution. This session will focus on these pressing environmental challenges. The spotlight is on engineers’ pivotal role in industrial and nuclear decontamination, ensuring safe remediation processes. Additionally, engineering expertise contributes to the restoration of areas affected by nuclear incidents by rebuilding public trust in nuclear energy safety. Throughout, the session will emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, with engineers working alongside scientists, policymakers, and communities to develop holistic solutions. Public awareness and education are underscored for fostering a collective commitment to sustainable practices. The urgency of these challenges calls for a proactive approach, and engineers, as innovators, lead the charge by integrating technology, advocating for effective policies, and engaging with communities. This session aims to inspire dialogue, innovation, and collaboration for a healthier, more resilient planet, with engineers at the forefront of prioritizing sustainable practices.

SECOND SESSION:
Sustainable healthcare management: technical needs and engineering solutions

In the dynamically evolving society, addressing health needs is crucial for long-term sustainability. Technology-driven solutions, from personalized treatment planning to telemedicine and remote devices, empower individuals and institutions in sustainable health management. Data-driven approaches, such as medical imaging, machine learning and AI, revolutionize diagnostics and treatment. Aging in place is supported by smart home solutions with assistive technologies. Robotics and automation play a key role in caregiving and healthcare. Interconnectivity ensures a holistic healthcare approach through seamless data flow. The third session will explore innovative engineering solutions for health promotion and aging.

LUNCH

14.40 – 16.20

THIRD SESSION:
Monitoring and controlling urban transport and utility systemss

In the face of rapid urbanization, Urban Transport and Utility Systems encounter unprecedented challenges that demand innovative solutions and real-world applications. Efficient urban transport is vital for thriving cities, connecting people to opportunities while reducing congestion and environmental impact. Real-time monitoring, fueled by technologies like IoT, AI, smart grids enable dynamic adjustments in traffic flow and public transportation, contributing to reduced emissions and improved air quality. Utility systems, encompassing electricity, water, and gas, are critical urban infrastructure components. Monitoring and control technologies optimize distribution, enhance resilience, and empower consumers are critical to make sustainable choices. Water and wastewater management, supported by smart sensors and monitoring, is essential for sustainability. Successful projects often require collaboration, open data platforms, and citizen engagement for user-centric solutions. This session will explore how monitoring and controlling urban transport and utility systems are instrumental in creating sustainable, livable urban environments for the future.
